Presenting the easy-to-use, anywhere-you-drive satellite radio. The XM Snap! features a no-frills design and straightforward installation — the radio's on a flexible stalk mount that plugs right into your vehicle's power port. Just adjust the stalk to the best viewing angle, and you'll see program, song, and channel info on the radio's two-line display.

Keep it simple
Simple controls make the Snap! easy to use. You can navigate categories with the arrow keys, then twist the rotary knob to change channels. Five buttons let you store your favorite channels for one-touch access. A built-in FM transmitter broadcasts the satellite radio signal wirelessly to your car radio, plus XM includes a cable that allows a direct connection to any car stereo with an auxiliary input.

Roof-mount antenna
The Snap! also includes a magnetic-mount antenna with an 11.5-foot cable that attaches to your vehicle's roof, then plugs into the power adapter. You'll need an XM subscription to receive programming.

My second

Have had a Snap for years and this is another one for my other car. (Got tired of wife taking it) Excellent reception, great sound thru AUX. Adding service to my existing XM account was a "Snap." Small and easy to install. Easy to use. Stores 4 stations more than I usually need. Thinking of getting a AC/DC converter (from Crutchfield, of course) to use it in the house.

Pros:Great price, easy to use. Small and out of the way when in the car.

XM Snap!

Simple and very easy to install. However I had a very deficult time signing uo my subscription with Sirius. I already had a Sirius account with another car, when I tried to add this radio to my account I had to open a new accunt with XM, this is not a Sirus radio you can attach to your account. I talked to 3 agents representing Sirius before I could be connected. It seemed like I was the first person ever to have a XM Snap and a factory installed Sirius subscription.

XM Snap

Pretty neat little radio. I needed a radio that would be completely portable since I drive a slip seat truck (changes everyday) in the Texas oilfield. Often I do not even have cellular service. After not renewing my XM for over a year due to their horrible customer service I deiced to replace my old Pioneer XMP3 that broke. I like that this radio is portable and changing the channels is very easy compared to my XMP3. I get to try it out today in the truck via the FM transmitter it worked decent in my car( I use to aux jack in my car) So yes I signed the deal with the devil again but it will definitely keep my sanity at work and I really like product and the price I got with Crutchfield. I think its a better buy than that one unit that offers wi-fi and bluetooth but no antenna (separate purchase).

XM Snap

Nice and small, but display stays on the XM radio's site way too long instead of switching to the artist and song titel. Also, my dogs accidentally changed the station about 5 times when in the car the other day. Other than that, it is a great little radio and I really like it. Well worth the money.

It's okay

It's inexpensive in a world of $150 plus devices. It is easy to set up, has a bit of background hiss, but works well enough to enjoy the music. I lazily put my antennae inside on the dash pushed up against the base of the windshield. This works fine and I use 92.9 as my Sirius/XM station. I would buy another.

Works well

Works great, I put the antenna inside the car And it seems to work well. My wife loves the service. Simple aftermarket xm solution. So far am very Satisfied. I use the auxiliary jack it works fine , have not tried radio option. Crutchfield is wonderful for quick service.

Pros:Xm on the cheap

Cons:Satellite radio requires monthly service fees. No Dimmer on the blue light for nighttime use.

XM Snap review

This is a good choice for an inexpensive portable solution for mobile XM service. I purchased this to use in our motorhome. Unfortunately, our 05' RV does not have an aux. input jack on the dash radio, so I used the FM frequency set up with the XM Snap. The sound quality using the FM frequency set up resulted in mediocre sound quality. Since the dash radio has a cassette player, I purchased a Crutchfield cassette adapter for the XM Snap and the resulting sound quality was greatly improved. I was considering swapping out the dash radio for a new XM ready unit, however the existing RV radio has nice features (weather band, CD, remote control, etc) that I'm happy with. The XM Snap with the cassette adapter produces decent sound and is a viable, inexpensive solution for this application. Overall - thumbs up!

Good Product

I got this XM radio for my 98 Lexus. Since I did not want to replace the radio I found this to be a good alternative. While the reception is sometimes poor due to FM radio reception, when the station has no interference it sounds good and is definetly an improvement over listening to commercial radio.

XM Snap

I am extremely happy with the XM Snap that I purchased from Crutchfield. As always service was excellent as was customer support when I called to changed my order. I was going to go with the XM Kenwood plug in but decided to go with the Snap due to it's portability and I am glad I did. It is nice to have satellite radio that I can use in multiple vehicles. I would definitely recommend the Snap to friends and family.

A nice little unit, with some issues

Written By Mazda3Driver, Delaware on Thursday, July 12, 2012

As a former 'terrestrial' Stern listener, I was one of the fans who'd had enough of his moneygrabbing tactics and swore I wouldn't switch to satellite & pay for radio. My wife got a trial subscription with her new car, got hooked, and secretly picked up a Snap player for me. I love the choices, so now I'm hooked too. This player could be better though. Overall, I'd say if you want satellite without paying alot or having a difficult install, go ahead and get this unit.

Pros:Plug it in the 12v socket, plug in an antenna, press a couple buttons, & you're listening to satellite radio. For an inexpensive unit, the interface is pretty good and the controls are as well. I didn't have the problem with the presets changing, and if you set them 20 or so channels apart it makes it easier to scroll to many stations quickly by hitting a preset then scrolling a short distance. Even though I haven't used it, the FM station feature could be a good option.

Cons:I have a significant alternator whine. It was reduced by turning the Snap output all the way up and turning the car radio down a bit. I have a noise filter I'm going to try, hopefully that will eliminate the noise. Also, the sound quality isn't what I expected. It seems like the high end is getting clipped regularly, and not due to signal drop. Kinda like an old cassette that's starting to go bad, or a cd that's trying to skip. That may just be satellite in general though, I don't know.

Just a Snap?

The "snap" was just that to install and activate. The longest part of this process, was waiting for the XM operator to collect the information. After programing and trying to listen to music with the exterior antenna intalled, I found an excessive amount of static and interference. No matter what "un assigned" FM frequency I used I could not get a clean signal. Tried with the 3.5 mini plug and tried with FM modulator same results. Crutchfield was great to work with again.

Pros:Ease of installation, low cost, moveable to other vehicles without any effort, clean appearance, minimal buttons.

Very useful

I use the Snap at work, where I am always driving different trucks. It`s perfect because it`s so easy to just plug in and throw the antenna up on the roof, that`s it. No extra power cord, and I like the option of running it through the auxiliary input, or the FM if the receiver I`m using has no Aux input. It`s not fancy, but that`s okay since it`s easy to scroll to each category, and with 5 presets I can quickly and easily get to any channel. The fact that the display doesn`t show the whole song title doesn`t bother me. No big deal. I think my only minor complaint is when driving at night, the blue color in the display is kind of bright, but you can easily make a little cover or just put a hat over it.

XM Snap awesome for small sports car

Mercedes 320SLK don't leave to much room for gadgets since it is a small sports car with not much interior room. Same as a corvette and similar sports cars. Thus this proved to be th best investment for installing an xm radio. Plugs right into cigarette lighter, find empty FM channel and set radio and xm snap to same frequency and your done. Small magnet antenna easily attaches to car in any place you desire. My slk a hardtop convertible so installing antenna took all of 3 minutes. Get 5 days free trial service with radio and if you've never had xm/sirius service you will be hooked within hours. Excellent buy for the money for all vehicles but exceptional for sports cars.

Pros:Easy Install, easy to set up, small yet gets every channel available on xm/sirius

Cons:can only save 5 channels in favorite. But one press of menu button makes it easy to find any kind of music/talk/sports you desire

Easy to use!

I love this XM radio for the simple reason you eliminate the power cord so there is one less wire to deal with. I plugged mine into my Pioneer's aux input and it sounds great with plenty of volume, so I don't know what problems the other person had with that. For someone who wants a satelite radio with no frills, this is it.

Simple, inexpensive, but not without shortcomings

I've been using this receiver for a few months now, and I think I've gotten a good feel for its strengths and weaknesses.

What I love about it: It's very inexpensive. It's very portable - I bought an extra antenna for our second car and move it between our two cars regularly. It has a very simple, elegant interface. You don't need to find a place to mount it in your car

What drives me nuts about it:

It only has five presets.

The titles don't scroll. If you're listening to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, you see "Wolfgang Ama", truncated down to 12 characters. (Really, XM?) It's time to play, "Can you guess this song?"

It's not at eye level. One of its greatest strengths is that it plugs into a 12V socket. One of its greatest weaknesses is that it plugs into a 12V socket.

It's slightly "floppy." If you're scrolling through channels and you hit a bump, you'll inadvertently skip through a few stations because the floppy stalk causes the unit to move a little. A remote would remedy this.

There's no easily discernible logic that determines which station gets remembered in each category. If you power off and back on, the categories seem to randomly "remember" odd channels. The firmware does not seem well thought out.

Minor complaint: You can't turn off the FM transmitter. If other cars have their radios on, they might pick up what you're listening to. Most people wouldn't care, but it's worth mentioning.

Clean & Simple

So many XM receiver options were available, but I was buying one for my 65- year old parents' RV. I needed something SIMPLE - the fewer buttons, the better. This was a snap to install, and worked perfectly immediately. No bells or whistles like pausing, rewinding, or recording, but these are features that my folks would never use and never understand how to control. I'm a big fan of the XM Snap, and would recommend it to anyone. Plus, with such an incredible low price ($50 - $30 rebate = $20), I won't fret too much if it breaks. Not that I expect it to break. Oh, and I love the support stem from the DC outlet. No need for my parents to clutter their dashboard with mounting trays. KISS - Keep It Simple, Stu*id!

Simple and effective

Written By TonyG, RDU, NC on Thursday, February 24, 2011

The snap is a simple and elegant solution for those who need or desire a
non-integrated XM solution. It reduced the number of wires we had running around
the car and has an easy to understand interface. The sound volume is a bit low
even on it's highest setting. Although this is an ultra low-price unit, we would
love if it had the pause and rewind functions of our previous player. I
recommend this unit to anyone who wants to get into XM with a low priced, high
quality unit.
